Recently, Geometric Algebra (GA) has attracted more and more attention in the field of signal and image processing. GA can treat multi-dimensional signals in a holistic way to keep the correlations among multiple dimensions and avoid information loss. So when traditional signal and image processing algorithms are redefined in GA space, they will be more powerful and achieve better performance in multi-dimensional signal processing. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey covering various GA-based algorithms. In particular, we first review the mathematic theories of GA and Reduced Geometric Algebra (RGA). Then, advanced GA-based algorithms are elaborately analyzed and compared, including GA-based Sparse representation model, GA-based Dictionary Learning method, Clifford Support Vector Machine, GA-based Feature extraction algorithms, GA-based adaptive filtering algorithms, GA-based Fourier-type transform, and GA-based edge detection algorithm. Finally, we discuss several open issues and challenges of GA, and point out possible research directions in the future.INDEX TERMS Geometric algebra (GA), multivectors, multi-dimensional signals, image processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
